Busse CPM-3V

I don’t need a sword, but I’d love to see some controlled testing of that steel side-by-side with INFI. Wish NOSS and Cliff were still around, as I guess there’s no reason for Busse to release comparative internal testing data. Still, any steel that goes through 3/8” bolts with no edge damage and can survive that degree of bend at 62 HRC is promising stuff.

So, can I ask what the draw to 3v is that makes it so desirable and expensive? Is it that much better than something like INFI?

Should I be buying a resiprene handled sword for $750?

Thanks.

If you have to ask, probably not. Swords ARE cool and they ARE fun, but it’s a HELL of a lot to shell out for what it is. Especially for a brand that’s supposed to be known for high value on things that are expensive anyway.

It didn’t exactly “survive”. I mean, it was in one piece, but it was like a boomerang. Some creative cutting and editing on that video, but that thing was clearly tweaked before they cut to the RC tester.

It’s impressive it didn’t snap and impressive it cut through the bolts. But, it would’ve been nice to see one continuous, unedited vid of the bends, then one of it cutting the bolts then take it straight to paper and slice it with the part of the edge that cut the bolts.

AntDog AntDog I think what might have happened was the guy recording pressed stop after the bend test was complete and realized he made a mistake. They obviously didn't think to much of it but I see your point, some of us performance freaks see it differently.

I'm fairly certain they weren't trying to hide the fact it took a set bend after going 180 degrees. Its the fact its 3v at 62 hrc took a 180 degree bend and didn't explode. Im pretty sure even cpk didn't go past 90 degrees in their test because of the same reason and their 3v isnt 62 hrc.

CPK will most definitely go past 90. Also a few things we need to take note of. Stock thickness, geometry, thickness behind the edge and edge angle. Thinner stock will bend further

I wasn't implying cpk wouldn't bend passed 90 degrees. I meant if they went 180 im sure they would also take a set bend. Also their 3v for swords is 60 hrc not 62. At least it is for that wakizashi.
